Bring The Fruit Stand to Your City 🍓
Fresh fruit. Real opportunity. Join the movement that’s redefining healthy fast food — one smoothie bowl at a time.
With so many franchise options out there, why pick The Fruit Stand?
We’re not just serving fruit — we’re fueling a lifestyle.
The Fruit Stand is more than a smoothie bowl shop. It's a vibrant, community-driven brand that delivers delicious, made-to-order bowls, smoothies, and fresh fruit with unmatched speed and quality.
As more people choose real, wholesome food over fast food chains, The Fruit Stand is leading the charge with a proven model that works in college towns, cities, and suburban neighborhoods alike.
What Sets Us Apart:
- Made-to-order bowls using fresh-cut fruit (never frozen or canned)
- Unique “build-your-own” menu that keeps customers coming back
- Lightning-fast prep time (most bowls served in under 1 minute)
- Low-overhead, high-efficiency operations
- A brand people love sharing on social media
Freedom & Work-Life Balance — Built Into Our Model
Owning your own business means freedom — but not every business delivers it equally.
Many smoothie shops stay open 7 days a week, 12+ hours a day, just to hit the same sales numbers The Fruit Stand achieves in fewer hours. When do you get time off to recharge, spend with family, or focus on growing your business?
At The Fruit Stand, we operate 6 days a week from 9am to 7pm. We’ve proven it’s possible to generate excellent sales — sometimes even exceeding our competitors — without sacrificing your personal life.
Here’s why shorter hours work better:
- Balanced Work-Life for You and Your Team
Happier, rested employees deliver better service — and you enjoy more time off.
- Higher-Quality Customer Service
Less burnout means your staff is energized, engaged, and keeps customers coming back.
- More Time to Grow
Efficient hours free you up to open and operate multiple locations, accelerating your growth.

Supply Chain Made Simple — Exclusive In-House Distribution
After owning and operating our first store and opening a second, we quickly learned the toughest challenge of running a fresh-food business: keeping top-quality ingredients in stock consistently.
